You won’t just write code — you’ll ship real systems, iterate quickly, and see the impact of your work in production. - **Think beyond the task –** Take initiative, understand the broader system and business context, and help drive both product and technical decisions. This is not a ticket-driven role. - **Leverage AI-accelerated development practices –** Use modern AI coding tools to improve development velocity, code quality, and testing efficiency while building robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure. - **Backend-focused, full-stack mindset –** Your core focus will be backend systems across agent workflows, close management, and data & network, but you’re comfortable operating across APIs, data, infrastructure, and DevOps when needed. - **Mentor and guide the team –** Support and mentor engineers, and guide architectural decisions to raise the technical bar across the team. - **Partner across stakeholders –** Work closely with Product and Engineering Management to ensure alignment on mission, prioritization, and team focus. Be a focal point for engineering questions, bringing a business mindset and a clear understanding of our goals. - **Design for scale –** Build backend services that are reliable, maintainable, and architected to scale with the platform. **What you will bring:** - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong backend focus - Proven experience building or operating large-scale systems in fintech, AI-driven products, or high-volume data environments - Experience owning mission-critical systems where low latency, correctness, and high availability are essential - Proven track record of taking products and systems from 0 to 1, balancing speed, quality, and innovative problem-solving - Strong builder mindset with experience taking complex systems from idea to production and scaling them in production - Comfortable operating across the stack when needed, from APIs and business logic to infrastructure and deployment - Deep experience building and operating systems on GCP - Modern engineering mindset, leveraging automation and AI tools to increase impact and velocity - Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively in small, senior teams
